The Godhead correct?

Acts 17:29

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

exactly . now put those hands up and let the praises and thanksgivings be sounded out to the GLORIOUS LORD .

Amen, bless the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for ever! What a great God we serve! We thank you Father for all your goodness and mercy towards us in your Beloved!

so the question you asked is would the son have repented if he had not went . NO SIR .
HE said no , but WENT , aka DID WHAT we was told . TRUE REPENTANCE is not lip alone .
many say I GO SIR , but they dont . THEMS the ones in danger
The son who said NO at first was in rebellion , BUT DID REPENT , HE DID THE WORK .
THUS THAT IS REPENTANCE .
Well done Amigo!!!!
Only those with honest hearts will speak the truth.

τὸ θεῖον, i.e., a god's action. I don't think Godhead is good rendering of this word and others like it. But I like how it discourages angel worship or ascribing Jesus to be the very deity.

Graven art here

So we are his offspring and we ought not think of "what exactly" is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

Graven image here including what is in heaven

Deut 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth

And there are three in heaven correct?

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Images of the trinity cool here?

Actually, the Greek here is difficult but seems to say that the God's action should not be thought of like a man's or a mechanical device's.

Oops, I forgot to mention 1 John 5:7 is not about the three in the way trinitarians expect.

What real difference is there between these as far as making a graven image of them?

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead G2305 so that they are without excuse

Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead G2304 is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

Col 2:29 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead G2320 bodily.

I don't believe the passage is about graven images and goes further.

And I will assume you know the Strong's numbers are different implying different meanings or renderings should be required.

Yes, I posted the references to each, in Christ was fulness of the Godhead also, thats the word used there, we are not to know Christ after the flesh so I dont see how many a graven image of Jesus is something encouraged either.
